Project big is a king line!
I was really inspired by the videos of Adam Ondra and Jakob Schubert trying it and wanted to check out this beast myself. It was one of the main goals of this trip. I ended up spending 8 days on it, and it was even better than I had expected!
See how I got on in this new video and let me know in the comments your thoughts!

I think it's high time for a crossover event. If you liked the route, I think it's a good occasion to project it together with Ondra. After all, you two are the only two undisputed 9c climbers at the moment, so it would be fitting for you to establish another 9c together.

@TristanCleveland 10 ай бұрын

Note that Seb was belaying Ondra when he sent Silence, so wouldn't be the first time they were on a 9c together! Seb wasn't nearly climbing at that level at the time though.

do you think its possible this will be the first 9c+? would that be 5.16a in YDS?

@miguelgazquez5717 10 ай бұрын

@@CollinGill7I doesn't think so, I think Jakob was saying that it was probably 9b+ with perfect condition, but as the condition are always a bit bad it's probably 9c to climb it when it's not perfectly dry. So no 9c+

He deserves more subs but he’s not better than Ondra. It’s one thing to send hard routes but Ondra’s list of onsites and flashes set him apart. Even if Seb climbed Silence (two 9c routes)he still couldn’t be considered the best.

I think Seb is great, but disagree he’s better outdoors than Ondra Schubert Ghisolfi. Of course Seb’s tick list is bigger since the others also stop to compete in the IFSC & Olympics. Seb puts more time in outside. He is amazing and is on par for outdoor I would say, this past year.

Great video Seb, the last two dynos are sick. You just need to get these moves right, and link together, I am sure you can do it. I would like to see a Silence repeat, either you or Ghisolfi, and I also hope someone will try DNA, would love to know how it compares to Silence. Judging from the progress in 8 days, Project Big I suppose is something like 9b/+.

@christophh9477 10 ай бұрын

Like adam, jakob and seb said, the single moves aren't super hard (for climbers with a potential for 9c). It's the amount of moves, I think its 80m long, with the hardest right at the end that makes it hard. Still very well could be 9c, having 3 of the best climbers projecting it and not yet sending.

@groghnash 10 ай бұрын

i think if the hardest moves are right at the end the difficulty of those moves can be slightly lower compared to cruxmoves in other climbs of the same grade, that are at the beginning of the route. if a route is 8C+ into easy climbing you need to do the crux once and you can try it over and over again, because it doesnt suck as much energy. If the crux after 70m of climbing is an 8B+/8C then that should add to about the same difficulty, depending on the rest, of the rests are bad the last boulder could even be easier and still recieve the same grade

Bonjour Seb ! Belle vidéo et beau projet ! Étant un peu nouveau dans l'escalade, j'avais en tête que l'ouvreur avait la "priorité" de la FA sur sa voie. Comment cela se passe à haut niveau? Est-ce que vous en discutez entre athlètes? Est-ce au bon vouloir des "concurrents" même si vous ne l'êtes pas vraiment? Merci ! 🙂

@2gouv 10 ай бұрын

Salut, à haut niveau comme ça personne n'a de priorité sur l'ascension. C'est tellement dur que si tu dois attendre que le mec ait réussi la voie tu en as pour un bout de temps... Meme a moyen niveau ca ne se fait pas trop en réalité (ca depend de ton éthique en vrai). Quand j'ouvre/equipe une voie je le fait pour les autres plus que pour moi. Ce n'est pas ton rocher mais celui de tout le monde

@bastouflette2552 10 ай бұрын

@@2gouv Justement, c'est tellement du haut niveau et que chacun de ces grimpeurs passent leurs temps à chercher une "King line", ça peut être rageant de se la voir piquer par un autre. Avant, c'était simple, il suffisait de pas trop en parler. Mais avec la nécessité de faire des vidéos, du suivis pour les sponsors, je doute qu'un projet reste secret bien longtemps. Évidemment pour le commun des mortels c'est différent. Encore que... si tu passes ton temps libre a ouvrir une voie, ça semble logique de vouloir la faire avant les autres.

@@bastouflette2552 l'escalade est un sport sans règles, il n'y a que ta propre éthique qui va dicter tes règles. Ce n'est pas dans l'éthique des "grands grimpeurs" de penser qu'une ligne est le sienne. Souvent les gens estiment que le rocher est a tout le monde et le premier qui arrive a enchainer peut-être n'importe qui

@miguelgazquez5717 10 ай бұрын

Je pense que ça dépend du grimpeur. Ondra (qui a équippé les voies je crois) a toujours été dans le partage là dessus, c'est assez fréquent qu'il invite des gens dessus (par exemple schubert sur project big). J'ai l'impression que c'est assez courant au top niveau de travailler les voies dures à plusieurs, cf par exemple Excalibur de ghisolfi
